Quinoa - will this recipe work?

[NewToRenting]

I've never cooked quinoa before. As far as I understand, quinoa has to be cooked in double quantity of water. Want to try this recipe, but doubtful if the quinoa will cook with barely any water (and I'd rather not waste either quinoa or effort!). More experienced cooks, any suggestions?

INGREDIENTS
100g white quinoa
700g broccoli, cut into 1cm thick slices
180g courgettes, thinly sliced
1 tbsp olive oil
80g ricotta, crumbled
2 tbsp dried unsweetened cranberries

For lemon dressing, whisk together:
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 small clove garlic, crushed

METHOD
Preheat oven to 180°C.
Rinse quinoa under cold water; drain well.
Spread on an oven tray.
Bake for 10 mins, stirring halfway through, or until toasted and golden.
Cool.
Combine broccoli, courgette and oil in a large bowl until vegetables are coated.
Cook broccoli on a heated oiled grill plate over medium high heat for 3 mins, each side or until just cooked.
Remove from heat; cover to keep warm.
Cook courgette on heated oiled grill plate for a minute each side.
Arrange vegetable on a serving platter, top with ricotta, quinoa, almonds and cranberries.
Serve drizzled with dressing.

You need to cook the quinoa with water otherwise it will just be like burnt bread crumbs

Thank you, that's what I thought. I will cook the quinoa on the stovetop and make the rest of the recipe as written.

Thought I'd come back here and give feedback on the recipe. It was quite good (and very filling!). I will definitely make it again, but with the following changes:

1. Cook quinoa on the hob, with some salt. Once cooked, add flavourings (herbs, boiled chickpeas, pumpkin seeds, onion, squeeze of lemon...)
2. Pan frying the veg took ages, will roast in the oven instead
3. Use feta instead of ricotta
4. Skip the oily dressing
5. 700g of broccoli is A LOT, I would use about half, cut into florets instead of steaks.

The quantity is enough for 2 big meals.

Thanks once more 3LittleMonkeyz!
